UNC CB M.J. Stewart (5-foot-11, 198 pounds) had a really impressive session during one-on-ones today. Stewart displayed the footwork to mirror releases and he challenged the break at the top of the route. Quick to drive and close on the ball. Stewart has the ability to bump inside to the slot at the pro level too.

North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham on the NCAA's academic investigation: "We didn't win [by avoiding sanctions]. It wasn't good for us, it wasn't good for the industry, it wasn't a good experience for our students. ... We know we've made a lot of mistakes as an institution. We know our students primarily got great classes while at Carolina. But we worked with every accrediting agency and we followed their process. We're committed to being open. Now what we have to do is earn back people's trust."
